Covington discusses spring football, upcoming season (Video)

Other than possibly East Jefferson, one could make a case that Covington has the toughest road in the metro area of getting back to where they were a season ago.

Loaded with senior starters in 2013, including a majority on defense that are moving on to Division I colleges – including defensive lineman Garrald McDowell, who is headed to Ole Miss – Coach Greg Salter will get a big-time test in Year Two of his regime. On offense, losing the school’s all-time leading passer in Dylan Savarese is tough enough, but the Lions also will have to replace All-Metro running back C.J. Sims.

Earlier this month, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune visited Covington to ask Salter and returning senior safety George Brister what they thought about spring and the upcoming season.
